Hey all,

Swinton are offering Full Uk breakdown cover/relay, roadside assistance and home start for £45 (if you use Quidco then you get 20% taking it down to only £36!)

They even offer you a guarantee of giving you £10 if they don't get to you within the hour!

This has got to be too good to be true surely?! Has anyone else has used them...?

Not used them, but kicking myself for taking out the same cover with Tesco Breakdown a couple of weeks ago at £63!

I don't think they are making much on the product, it's possible that they just want you on board to quote other products. Here's a bit from their FAQs:

"We will send you your policy documents through the post and one of your local Swinton branches will contact you to welcome you as a customer. We will send you your policy documents through the post and one of your local Swinton branches will contact you to welcome you as a customer. "

Still a great price though, cover looks to be provided by AXA Assistance, go for it.

Hey matey, I signed up with Swinton Breakdown last Nov. However, since the car is over 10 years old I had to pay about £80. Not bad considering AA & RAC charge alot more for the same service. I have to say though, I broke down in December at Centre Parcs, Elveden. My car wouldn't start so I phoned them. I managed to get my car started with jump leads after waiting for 45 minutes. I phoned them to cancel the callout but they wouldn't let. Wait for 1 hour still no came (I would of asked if i sounded ok to drive). I drove home no call from breakdown company. I then wrote a letter to them to reclaim my callout or for the £10. I had my callout back so success. Haven't yet broken down but I think I would re-new next November because it's cheap and I would give them another chance.
